No individual Israelite would have had to obtain a large quantity of gold and silver from the Egyptians. Each of the more than six hundred thousand adult males was asked to give only two-fifths of an ounce of silver to supply the amount needed for the tabernacle (v. 26). The gift of each of the adult male members of the community would have averaged less than one-seventeenth of an ounce of gold. Such limited quantities could have reasonably been obtained from ancient Egypt.
